Zona Sul- the sun zone, this term covers (amongst others) Copacabana, Ipanema, Flamengo & Botafogo. The first two are the most well known for their beaches, dining and nightlife.
There are many hotels, ranging from the world famous Copacabana palace to more humble hotels a few blocks back from the beach. Also there are many apartments of varying price and quality. If you want a hotel right on the beach front (Avenida Atlantica) you will pay more, the same applies for apartments.

We recommend getting a place a few blocks back if you want to economise. Still only a 5 to 10 minute walk to the beach. If you want 
us to find and book an apartment or hotel email us at the address below with the required information. You may find that we can get a better deal for you than booking your end through a travel agent.
Compare us. Ipanema which is right next door to Copacabana is more upmarket and consequently more expensive. If you want an area that is more tranquil ( for a big city that is) then this is it and Copacabana can be reached on foot or by a short taxi ride when you wish to visit.
About a 20 minute taxi ride from Ipanema/Copacabana ( assuming no traffic jams) this is a more spread out modern Brazil. It has fantastic beaches good shopping and restaurants. Also has a good night life but not the same intensity as Copacabana. One of the good things about Barra is that you can rent better quality apartments at a cheaper price than in Copacabana. And if you like spending time on the beach then this is the place - an uninterrupted 15km long beach.
